...............
At its meeting of 20th May, the Senate Committee on
Undergraduate Studies considered the attached proposals for a
Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, Linguistics and Philosophy.
This proposal was approved subject to a number of minor changes being made
in the programs; and, now that these changes have been made, the
proposal is forwarded to Senate for its consideration with the
Committee's recommendation that it be approved.
It should be noted that this proposal is divided
into two parts. The first consists of an interdepartmental B.A.in the
study of language with equal concentration in Ps
y
chology, Linguistics
and Philosophy. The degree awarded under this program will be a jdint
major in PLP. The second is an interdisciplinary B.A. in the stud3
of language with a joint major in PLP and a further concentration on
Psychology, Linguistics or Philosophy. It should also be noted that
.
it is anticipated that, if it is approved, the program will not go
in to effect until the Fall semester, 1976.

OUTLINE OF THE PROPOSAL
(a)
PROPOSED: 1) Interdepartmental B.A. in the study of language with
equal concentration in psychology and linguistics and
philosophy. This will constitute a joint-major (PLP.)
2) Interdepartmental B.A. in the study of language with a
joint-major in PLP. and an additional concentration in
either psychology or linguistics or philosophy. 2
(b) BACKGROUND: ?
In the last 15 years there has been a great surge in the
amount of work on various aspects of language. This work has affected
many fields Including psychology, linguistics, and philosophy as well
as anthropology, communications studies, computer science and sociology.
The extent of the Influence varies from field to field, but the greatest
Impact has been within psychology on the subfields of psycholinguistics,
cognitive psychology, and developmental psychology; within philosophy
on philosophy of language, philosophical logic and philosophy of mind;
and within linguistics on semantics, syntax, phonology and phonetics.
Increasingly, people working within these subfields find
that they use overlapping reading materials and ask closely related
questions in their research and in their teaching. In fact it is becomIn
more and more evident that a great deal of the work being done in these
fields belongs to a common area which cuts across traditional departmental
organization. There are now several journals, each of which publishes
articles In philosophy of language, psycholinguistics, and linguistics.
Furthermore, there is a large number of collections of essays pub-
lished which contain articles from each of these fields. Within Simon
Fraser University, this is reflected in a number of courses which draw
on research being done in these areas.
The authors of this proposal would like to thank Professors N. Swartz
and R. Koopman of the Faculty of Arts Curric"lum Committee for contri-
utions at the initial stages of our discussion.

(c)
BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAMME: Presently, courses in the study of language
are spread out over several different departments. One of the benefits
of the programme will be to draw many of them together into a unified
programme and offer to the student a structured and integrated study of
language with a high degree of academic excellence. There are several
career opportunities open to majors in the programme. The directors of
graduate studies in the participating departments indicate that a major
In the programme would be sufficient for entry into their graduate pro-
grammes. Moreover, with the addition of Mathematics 151, a student
majoring in the programme would qualify for admission to the M.Sc. pro-
gramme in the Division of Audiology and Speech of the Faculty of Medicine
at the University of British Columbia
4
, and the director of graduate
studies of this division believes that students majoring in the programze
would qualify for similar programmes elsewhere.
Furthermore, faculty members involved In the programme
will benefit from greater opportunities for cooperative work in researc1i
. ?
and teaching. Finally, since the programme draws on the existing re-
sources of the University, it will not place an additional burden on th
University's funds (beyond a small operating budget) while indicating
the rich diversity of interdepartmental programmes that can be extrapolated
from the existing calendar without the requirement of extra faculty.
(d)
NEW COURSES FOR THE PROGRAMME: At present we do not foresee adding any
courses specifically for the programme which are not already in the
Psychology and Philosophy Departments and Linguistics Division of DML.
(a) INTRODUCTORY COURSE AND CONCLUDING SEMINAR: In a programme of this sort it
is necessary to have a course which introduces the student to the variots
approaches to language represented in the programme and which gives the
student some idea of the different career possibilities offered by conc
trating in the programme. Linguistics 100 can serve this function. In
Addition, at the end of the programme, majors must have a course which
Integrates the different fields to which they have been exposed in the
course of their studies. Psychology 425 can serve this purpose. We ha
.
See the appended letter. In addition the student must have at least
a 3.25 average and high si,ol level physics.

 
consulted with the Chairmen of the Psychology Department and of the
Linguistics division of DML about the above proposal and they foresee
no difficulties with It. One alternative approach being considered
for the teaching of these courses is to have them team-taught by a
linguist, a psychologist, and a philosopher, with the linguist having
primary responsibility for Linguistics 100 and the psychologist for
Psychology 425.
(f)
NEW FACULTY FOR THE PROGRAMME: The courses drawn from the Philosophy
Department and the Linguistics Division of DML can be taught by existing
faculty. However, at present there is no permanent psycholinguist in
the Psychology Department to teach psychology courses within the programne.
For the last two years these courses have been taught within the Psycho4gy
Department by visiting faculty and have been very well attended. Prof-
fessor Krebs, the Chairman of the Psychology Department, has Informed
us that there is an independent need for a psycholinguist within the
Psychology Department and that the Psychology Department will be making
• ?
a request for such a position - possibly as a joint appointment in
Psychology and Linguistics (DML).
(g)
SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAMME: We have submitted the proposal to the Psych-
ology and Philosophy Departments and the Linguistics Division of DML and
have received their strong support.
5
Further, we have discussed the pro-
gramme with the Chairmen of the Biology, Sociology and Anthropology,
Computing Science and Communications Departments. The Chairmen of Bioloy,
Sociology and Anthropology, and Computing Science have given the prograinne
their support while the Chairmen of Biology and Communications have in-
dicated that they have no objection to the programme. Lastly, we have
solicited student interest and opinion from students in Psychology,
Philosophy and Linguistics courses via a questionnaire and found that thre
was a great deal of interest in the programme. Several of the students
indicated that had there been such a programme, they would have chosen
to major in it.6
(h)
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAMME: The programme will be initially admini-
tered by a committee consisting of one member from each of the participa
1 t-
Ing departments and division elected by their respective departments or
See attached letters from t.ie respective Chairmen.

division and by a student elected by the students in the programm On
a two-year rotating basis, one of the faculty members will be chairman oi
the committee and thereby chairman of the programme. The duties of the
committee will be to insure the coordination of the various courses into
an integrated field of study and to offer guidance to students in the
programme. The programme will be represented on the FACC and the head
of the programme will have the responsibility of recommending candidates
to the FACC for the B.A. degree. Furthermore, the faculty teaching in
the programme will be included in the decision-making processes as in
any department or programme. If any decisions require the approval of
the respective departments and division, they will be forwarded to them
for their adjudication.
(i) ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET: (1) Secretarial and clerical
?
$800.00
(2)
Printing and supplies

(3)
Printing and photocopying

200.00
(4)
Telephone

50.00
Total ?
$1,150.00
We foresee no need in the future to have separate support staff or off ic
space. 'The above costs represent estimates for the start-up of the pro-
gramme. After its initial stages a modest budget will be needed to help
prepare calendar entries, advertisements for the programme, and material
to assist in advising students majoring in the programme.
(j) LIBRARY RESOURCES: The central library holdings are more than adequate to
support the programme.
(k) ORIGINALITY OF THE PROGRAMME: There is no undergraduate programme of
sort proposed available in Canada nor, as far s we have been able to
ascertain, anywhere else in North America.

I. MAJORING IN THE PROGRAMME (PLP.)
a. ADMISSION INTO THE PROGRAMME
Any student fulfilling the requirements specified below may enter the
programme.
(i) GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Group requirements: Any student enrolled in this programme will automatL
ically fulfill the Group A and B iquirements in the Faculty of Arts as per
?
7

 
SFU Undergraduate Calendar (1975-1976)
PP.
82-83.
2.
Languages other than English: Most graduate schools require some pro-
ficiency in one or two languages other than English. Those who contemplate
graduate studies are advised to include language courses in their programme
3. No more than 15 semester hours should be in courses numbered 300 and
above In the first 60 hours. These cannot count towards the upper level
requirements. (1975-1976 Calendar
p.
80).
(ii) FREEDOM OF ENTRY AND EXIT
Though the programme is highly structured, it does not require student
to commit themselves to It as majors any earlier than other programmes. In
fulfilling the lower level requirements of the PLP. programme, a student
would automatically meet Faculty of Arts distribution and lower level requix
ments. In addition, once embarked on the programme as a major, it is possi i.e
up until the seventh trimester for a student to decide to switch to a major
in any one of the participating departments. Consequently, the student is
not irrevocably locked into the programme at an early stage In his under-
graduate career.

Dear Sam:
I have read the proposed interdisciplinary program in Psycho-
linguistics and, from the point of view of Psychology, would find it
a1
desirable addition to the curriculum. As you know, we have submitted
a recommendation for an additional appointment in the areas of languag
and thought. if a psychologist in this area were added to our facultyl
I would anticipate that he would take part in an interdisciplinary
?
I
program in Psycholinguistics. As I understand it, the needs of our
Department and the needs of such a program mesh to
the
extent that they
would both benefit from a psychologist with the developmental orientatLon
toward psycholinguistics. I encourage you to look favorably upon this
request. ?

..........................................................
I have read with great interest your proposal for an interdepartmental
program in Philosophy, Linguistics, and Psychology. While it does
not at this point in time directly affect the Sociology/Anthropology,
Department, I would certainly wish to express a general interest
which I think is shared by my colleagues in the area of socio-linguistics.
It is my personal hope that among the appointments we will able to
make in a year's time (or thereabouts) there should be one or two
people with specialist interests in this field. I hope therefore
that your final proposal will be sufficiently flexible so that should
we make such appointments, it will be possible for these people to
make a significant and useful input into your program.
. ?
At the purely personal level may I say that I would look forward to
discussing with you the general issues in the areaof socio-linguistics.
As I mentioned in my phone call, my doctorate included work in
linguistics and for some years I had a major connection with people
working in that field. My personal expertise has rather run down
over the last ten years or so and I would welcome the chance of talking
to you so that perhaps I could upgrade it, if ever I am given time
to read a book.

Dear Wyn:
Thank you for your note of 17th September concerning the
programme requirements for S.F.U. students interested in pursuig
an M.Sc. in our Division.
As per our discussions in August, your proposed PLP prograpirne
would be suitable background for prospective students interested
• ?
in entering our graduate programme, as outlined on the enclosed
description, which I have amended for your information. Obviously,
such prospective students would have to satisfy all our require-
ments as set out in the descriptive brochure (a copy of which I
gave you last month), including a letter of intent inter alia.
In general, I can foresee no reservations at all about accepti9g
students from S.F.U. who satisfactorily complete your PLP progiamme.
I certainly hope your proposed programme will be approved
in near future.
Thanking you again for your consideration and looking for
to seeing you soon, I remain,
Yours very truly,

Labs. AQ3042.
Psychology 201 is a research methodology course rather than a content
course. It is designed to give you an appreciation of the various techniques
and procedures used in scientific research in general, and psychological
research in particular. The lectures and readings will describe these
method
and the
rationale!underlying them, while the lab periods will give you an
opportunity to put them into practice. It is hoped that by the end of the
course you will have sufficient competence (a) to design and carry out your
own research and (b) to critically assess the research of others.

PSYCHOLOGY 302 - LEARNING
?
Spring, 1974
This course is designed to give the student an overview of
learning
mechanisms throughout the animal kingdom. Starting with
the
most basic
and primitive mechanisms of
learning,-which are shared by all, or almost
all animals in the kingdom, we shall progress by examining more and more
complex ones. As the mechanisms become more complex they are shared by
fewer and more complex animals. In the end we shall come to the study
of. typical human processes. It is hoped that at the end of this course,
if the student wishes to explore some special issues further he will have
sufficient background to make a meaningful choice. A brief outline of the
course content follows together with an indication of the (approximate)

PSYCHOLOGY 303 - PERCEPTION
Questions: - How do percptual systems develop in the individual?
- Do the perceptual systems function in isolation or do
they interact to produce complex perceptions?
- What variables influence perceptual organization and selectivity
(attention)?
- How is perception related to other psychological processes: sensati
cognition? memory? motivation? learning? consciousness?
- Why do we sometimes misperceive reality, e.g., illusions,
hallucinatiOns?

Course Outline
Calendar Description: Conditions, principles and theories of motivation.
Consideration of the initiation, direction and regulation of behavior.
Animal and human and the physiological bases of motivation are considered.
Prerequisite: Psychology 101.
Students who have taken
Psychology
240 may not take this course for furtlu
credit.
Texts: 1.
Motivation,edited
by Dalbir Bindra and Jane Stewart. Penguin
2. ?
Motivation, Edward J. Murray.
Both texts are
par1erback and inexpensive. ?
Both are treatments of various
traditional approaches to motivation.
?
The first
is
a book of
readings
an
the second a shor
?
survey of the field as
Murray sees it.
The class is scheduled for two lectures and one laboratory each week
I.propose that we use the texts, the time and our energies in somewhat th
following way:
?
uing readings in both books and my
rather less tradition
views as presented in lectures (which won't be
lectures, but conversation
you will set out to investigate in the
laboratory
some question about hum
motivation.
?
Thatis, you will formulate experimental queries about eatin:
drinking, sexual behavior or the like and with the help of the TA you wil
gather data.
?
As the semester progresses we will all hopefully
learn more
about the behavior under
investigation and
so
written
and verbal exchange
between us will become more knowledgeable.
?
The written and verbally
presented results
of laboratory work will determine the grade unless a
majority of students request a different system.
?
The aim of all this it
examine real questions you may have about your or others behavior in the
light of reasonable experimental data and the
recent
history of the
psychology of motivation.

Theory of Measurement
Psychology 310-5
Sr
1976
?
Dr. Kendall
This course deals with basic problems
in the quantification of peycho1oRial
variables. The general principles of measurement are presented and the necesary
requirements for good measures are discussed. Heans of
assessing
the adequac) of
measures and methods for improving measures in a variety of content areas will he
dealt with.
The course is relevant for students interested in all areas of psychologyL It is
not n course in testing, and it is not a course
in statistics.
The focus is on the
nature of measurement related to the concept to be studied in a particular problem
area.
The problem of good measurement may be considered in the areas of perception,
motivation, learning, personality, developmental, social, physiological, individual
differences - any content area. In the past classes have dealt with the deveopment
of procedures for evaluation of music; the prediction of success in par
achutiig; the
validation of attitude measures where there is no obvious external criterion; the
consequences of low reliability of some threshold measures in perception; t
he
!
impli-
cations of low correlations among alternate measures of what is supposedly th
1
6 same
concept (e.g. drive) in learning; problems associated with analyses based on patterns
in data, as in studies of evoked potentials.
The main emphasis in the course is that
the principles
of measurement are'
generally applicable to all areas of research. There is some optimism expresed that
good measures can be developed in even the most complex of areas and to ignore an
evaluation of the quality of measures in a given area leads to chaos.
Prerequisites: Psychology 201-3, 210-3 or equivalent. (3-0-2)

Spring '74
This course will emphasize what events are occurring in the nervous
system when environmental information has been Interfaced with a sensory
system. Events such as the initial encoding of the information at the
receptor surface, translation into the language of the nervous system,
destination of the information, possible types of codes, etc. will be
discussed. The attempt will be made to explain various perceptual
phenomena, e.g., why we are sensitive to certain environmental stimuli
and insensitive to others, by exploring the physiology of the sensory
systems. Laboratories will include demonstrations as well as resources
for a major research project planned and executed by small groups of
students. Some background In perception and/or physiological psychology
would be useful though not essential.

GRADING DISTRIBUTION
A student's grade will be based on several dimensions related to learning:
examinations, a research project, an oral presentation, and class participation.
The following distribution will be used:
1. Laboratory ?

2 exams each worth 30 marks
will count toward the final
course grade.
A. Laboratory.
Laboratory sessions will consist initially of several demonatratio4is of
social behavior patterns, followed by group discussions. Following these
,labs
will involve an oral presentation by each class member of their research jroject.
Students will receive 10% for 1 attendance, and 10% for their oral presentations.

The research projects
will involve
observations of some form of social
behavior pattern discussed in the course. Select
i
problem. situation, or
environment and make a series of observations. You can function as perticip$t-
observer; collect data using a questionnaire; run a regular research experi$nt;
etc. You will be expected to relate your observations to theories and research
discussed in the course. The research project will be worth 202 and will be graded
according to the criteria outlined in Handout 1 (P.6.). Some examples of social
behaviors to be observed are the following (Try to generate your own "original
ideas"):
a)
interaction of individuals in a group setting (e.g., a coimiune, men
hospital, nursery school, etc.)
b)
interaction of doctors with their patients
c)
interaction of strangers in some unusual situation
d)
people's reaction to violation of a norm
e) fraternity iaitiauons
f)
reactions to being "different" than the rest of the community
g)
patterns of non-verbal behavior (e.g., eye contact, physical die tan
between people, gestures)
h)
techniques used to attract members of the opposite sex
i)
patterns of seating in a library, cafeteria, or classroom by sex, r
etc.
J) conformity pressures toward drug use
k) collect data on mass media
1) collect data on voting statistics
M)
count people who jaywalk under various conditions
n) study various social protest movements such as women's liberation an
gay liberation
o)
helping behavior, i.e. hitch-hiking, picking up dropped books, donatLng
money
P) compliance
q)
reactions to out-of-role behavior
r)

Text: Falconer, D.S. Introduction to Quantitative Genetics, Oliver
and Boyd, 1960.
Description: The course will deal with elementary quantitative genet
During the first part of the course simple mathematical models of ran
mating, genetic drift, mutation, etc. will be discussed. During the
second part of the course the genetics of continuous traits such as
intelligence and personality traits will be discussed.
The course will meet twice a week. The first meeting will consist of
lectures on quantitative genetics. At the second meeting the applicatin
of principles of quantitative genetics to various areas of psychology w.11
be discussed. Topics covered will include: the behavioral modificati
of the gene pool, the genetics of schizophrenia, Burt's rnultifactorial
theory of intelligence, the genetics of Jensen's work in intelligence,
the physiological basis of continuous variation, etc.
Prerequisite: Some knowledge of statistics and genetics. Psychology 2O,
Math 101 or Econ. 332 should provide sufficient background in statistic
Very little knowledge of genetics will be required and an understanding
of Mendel's laws and their implications should be sufficient. Psych 310-5
not required.
Approach: The course is a seminar in psychological measurement and
reflect this orientation.

This course involves a study of the area of generalization,
via papers written on the subject over a period of over forty years.
These papers are used as a vehicle for delving into major issues,
not only in learning theory, but occasionally in other areas of
psychology, particularly personality.
The"text" consists of approximately 20 journal articles, and
final grade is based upon a mid-term and a final.
Enrollment is somewhat limited, being intended for honors students

This seminar will deal with recent ethological approaches to the analysis
of human social development. During the first half of the course, we will
critically examine Bowiby's theoretical account of mother-infant social
relations. During the latter half, discussion will focus upon a collection
of essays which provide specific examples of the ethological approach to human
behavior.
Since the six-week format of Summer Session courses is extremely compact,
primary emphasis will be placed upon group discussion of the course material.
There will be two short essay exams covering the assigned readings.

This course is designed as a research seminar. The primary emphasi
will he upon the design and implementation of observational research pro-
jects. Seminar discussion will focus upon the use of observational tech
niques for the descriptive analysis of behavior, with special reference
to social activity.
For those students most interested in animal social behavior, reseach
will probably entail the use of the department's Squirrel Monkey Colony.
There are presently four groups of monkeys in this facility, and about sx
to eight people could work with these animals. Additional animal work cn
be arranged with animals at the Vancouver Zoo. Students more interested
in the application of observational methods to human social behavior will
be encouraged to develop appropriate research projects (topics such as
non-verbal communication, proxemics or personal space, & small group organi-
zation are especially suitable for observational analysis).
All students will be expected to discuss various stages of their re-
search in seminar, and ultimately to submit some written statement of tr
work which they've accomplished. (If the project cannot be completed during
the course of one semester, a more theoretical paper will be acceptable.)
Since the only requirement for this course is active involvement in some
research project, it's important that each student have some inkling of
topic prior to enrollment. Consequently, permission of the instructor i a
fairly important prerequisite to admission.

Gleason, Introduction to DescriPtive Linguistics will also be found most
useful for purposes of revision and for background discussion of the phenomena
we shall be dealing with.
Grade.: Take-homes (502) and exam (50%)
Course Outline: Much of the activity of linguists is concerned with the
analysis and description of little-known languages, either to help them
of them or to illustrate for the benefit of otbei
to
theoretical
acquire
linguists the types
a
of
practical
phenomena found in their
command
area. Others again
like to examine familiar languages (often their own) with a view of discovering
the general principles of organisatlon which uudelie human language. Whether
your interests in language, are practical (e.g. you wish to teach or learn a
foreignlaU8t1a8e)0 merely philosophical you will find it most useful to gain
practical experience in handling unfamiliar (or familiar) linguistic date by
the precise techniques that have been developed, particularl
y
during the
present century. Some people find that the sort of work we shall be doing
helps them considerably in learning languages, and certainly you should find
that your awareness of language will be enhanced.
Broadly speaking the study of language may be broken down into phonology
(which deals with sounds), grammar (which deals with the arrangement of morpbeu
and words) and semantics (dealing with meaning). Although meaning enters into
grammar and even phonology we shall not be much concerned with se
mAn
tics as auc
Most of our work will be related to the following:
1.
Phonemic Analysis. This enables us to establish the functional sound unit3
of a language. For instance, in English the aspirated 1h) of 'pit' and the
aspirated [p] of 'spit' form a single unit or phoneme because the difference I
predictable by rule (roughly,
(p3
occurs after [a), (ph)
elsewhere).
In other
languages these sounds may contrast (e.g. Ancient Greek [pkoa) 'Paros', an
island, [phkos] 'light-house'). To speak a language correctlY we must know
what distinction s
are important and what not. We shall deal also with the
phenomena presente
'
rby tone languages and study tapes of Zulu and Cantonese.
2.
Generative Phonology. This more recent approach enables us to describe
certain types of phenomena which cannot easily be handled by phonemic analyei,
and is particularly well adapted to the study c dialect. Thus in English vol5
and diphthongs are lengthened before (d) ([
rayt
)
'write but (rayd) 'ride');
?
in N. America [t] is often replaced by [d] between vcel.
Ju3t

-2-
If we transposed the rules of vowel lengthening and stop voicing we would
get [ray -der] for both words. This 18 an example of generative phonology.
You may have concluded that what we did here was reconstruct the changes which
have occurred 1n.N. American English, and you would be essentially correct; we
are often able to recover quite a lot of the past history of languages in this
manner, even when there are no written records.
3.
Morphology and Syntax. The basic principles are given in Linguistics 220.
In 221 we 'p1une immediately into the exotic data of Merrifield and attempt
to puzzle out the grammar of languages of which we are given a few phrases
with associated meanings. You may never be faced with this need in real life b
you will probably find this part of the course challenging, and will be
fascinated by the range. of phenomena found in languages (e.g. many have no
plural, some distinguish a, 'we' which includes the listener, and one which does
not).
?
. ?
.
4.
Traneforiiatj.onal Syntax.. Again we refer briefly to this in 220. In 221 we
actually develop miniature T-grammars for languages we dO not know. That means
we can 'generate' sentences of Turkish or Aztec which would be acceptable to
native speakers. Again we find that T-grammar is particularly appropriate
for the description of many features which-earlier methods dealt with onl
y
e
clumsily. More importantly, the 'deep grammar' which this technique yields is
more closely related to meaning than a 'surface' analysis is.

Grades: Based on Class participation, home-assignments,

Outline:
in this course the linguistic principles set out in
Linguistics 220 are examined more deeply and greater emphasis is
laid on the study of Grammar, as opposed to Phonology and Phon-
tics. Each aspect being discussed will involve practice in the
• solution of specific problems - most of them to be found in tl
set text. The main language of illustration will be English,
but data from many of the world's languages will be used to
illustrate particular points when English does not provide
ex-
emplification. The"course will follow the pattern of the text
in that it will proceed from
syntatic-semantic
analysis to
Phonological analysis. Students are encouraged to participate
as much as possible during classroom sessions.

rotating basis in order to ensure understanding and clarify ary
difficulties.
Set text: A. Koutsoudas. Writing Transformational Grammars
Calendar description:
'Nature and historical origins of generative phonology;
its relation to traditional techniques of Internal reconstruction.
The writing of phonological rules; acoustic versus articulatory
features; the concept of universal phonetic system. The notion
'possible word'; morpheme structure rules. Rule order. Ordeing
- paradoxes. Rule reordering as a source of historical change.
Generative phonology in dialect study. The notion
of the rule
cycle and its application
to stress in English. The older dispute

over 'grammatical prerequisites'.
Additional remarks:
This course is primarily practical in orientation
examining and analysing data from various languages to see wht
problems arise and what these problems tell us about the nature
of the phonology/phonetics of the world's languages. Student
are encouraged to participate fully in classes. It is suggesed
that students look at the following prior to starting the course;

Dr. R. C. DeArmond
Morphology and Syntax
Morphology is the study of the parts of the words. Initially,
the term referred to the arrangement and distribution of morphemes
and their allomophs. Today linguistic analysis and theory has beco
sophisticated. Words are not Just made up of morphemes, which
have variants called allomorphs. The variations of allomorphs
dependent on a phenological context properly belong to phonology,
although morphology in one sense bridges the gap between lexical an
and phonology.
All words consist of a lexical stem to which affixes are added.
The actual meaning of a word is contained in the stem, whereas
inflectionaláffixes either constrain the interpretation of words
in a systematic way, or they show redundant agreement to some other
form. Lexical stems may themselves consist of "and underlying"
stem plus. a formative suffix.
This course will cover the concept of a word, its formative
parts, and the formtion of some of the parts. It will also cover
how these forms relate to one another, and to semantic interpretati
The exercices assigned during the

Course Description
- Specific goals of Sociolinguistics compared with those of
related fields (Linguistics, Sociology, Psycholinguistics ..
- Intensive study (from a linguistic point of view) of socio-
linguitic topics such as
a)
the social nature of language and its relation to cultur
(language as a cultural phenomenon and social institution, linguistic
communities and social groups)
b)
language uses and attitudes (language as a sociocultural
index and determinant, social dialects,"class language", styles...)
c)
language and nationality (standard languages, dialects,
jargons, pidgins, creoles; languages in contact)
d)
Bilingualism and disglossia (with special consideration
of Canada), immigrant languages in Canada •
e)
language and social change ( sociolinguistic problems in
Othe acquisition of language ), linguistic acculturation.

LINGUISTICS 410 -- SPRING 1974
Course DesoriPti
I.trip:uistiOR 410 is a 3-credit course dealing with the
applicati
of linguistics to second language teachin
g
and related matters.
It is a very
useful course for future language teachers.
Since applied linguistics is not an "armchair" subject but
has
considerable relevance for the prepAration and presentation
of
second langua
g
e materials, the plan is to have two lectures (more
theoretical in nature) arid one tutori'l (considerably practical)
per week.
Some of the topics for the lectures are the
following: lingUisti
theories and
theories of language acquisition (includin
g
the rei4-
tioriship between linguistic theories and methods of language in-
struction); thenon-linguistic context in language
acquisitiOn)
similarities
and differences (psycholinguistic, neurophysiOlogtc8l,
nguiatio,.et0i) between first and second language learning;
linguistic
interference and its implications and applications;
I
the learnin
g
of the four language skills; the learning of second
language pronunciation, grammar, and vocabular
y
; second language
testing; programmed and self-paced/individualized second languag
'earning; and research and experimentation in second language
learning.
The
tutorialswill
be divided according to language and
will
em-
phasize the preparation and presentation of second language
materials.
Although there are no pre-requisites for this course, Linguistics
130 and 220 or 221 are highly recommended. Students lacking suh
background are advised to read, before the beginning of the Spring
chapterS 1-5, 8., 11, 12, 14-16, and 21 of H.

F;PRr?lr, 1971

TITLE: Linguistic Theory
CONTENT: The course is intended as a natural sequel to 221 (which is the
only prerequisite). But whereas 221 deals with the actual techniques we
use in order to describe the phonology and grammar of languages, 422 is much
more concerned with the reasons we might have for analysing our data the
way we do, for a given type of description may imply a theory about the
way in which we acquire language and use it to communicate with our fellows.
Think of. our brains as black boxes we know roughly what the linguistic
input is (words and sentences) and what the output is (words and sentences).
In a sense our brain decodes the noises that enter our ear in order to
arrive at some message, and converts messages again into noises when we
speak. How? No one knows, but modern linguistics is deeply concerned
with developing 'models' which will perform the same sorts of function as
our speech mechanisms. That means that linguists are increasingly concerned
with the internal mechanisms of the black box (while much traditional
linguistics confined itself largely to input and output). What we shall
try to do is to (a) link up the older concepts to the more recent (e.g.
.
?
the theory of the phoneme to generative phonology, immediate constituent
analysis to transformational grammar) and (b) relate the various functions
involved in using language; how are messages formed and understood (semantic
How are they converted into strings of morphemes (syntax) and subsequently
sounds (phonology)? There'll be a lot more semantics than you've had so
far, but you won't find it at all hard.
We can't hope to cover much in any detail, but by the end of the course
you should have a general idea of what is happening on the linguistics
scene at the moment.
Grades will be based on reports or an exam, depending on students'
preference.
There are three required texts, but their total price is only $5.05
(for 754 pages!).

When children, in their innocence, ask questions like
"How do you know that every single square in the whole
world has four aides? Have you seen them all?", "Dreams
are real, aren't they?" and "Would there be sounds if
there weren't any ears?", we find it rather charming -
so long as they don't press for answers.
This introductory course is primarily concerned with
exploring the issues raised by these sorts of questions
about human knowledge. Part of its point is to reawaken
the unfettered curiousity which we all lose, at least
temporarily, when we stop being children.
Another part, however, is to achieve a graph of the
sophisticated logical techniques required to answer such
questions.

In this course we will examine some important
problems about the nature of knowledge. How is
knowledge different from belief? Can we ever be
certain that we know something & that we do not
merely believe it? Is true knowledge ever possible
for the human mind?
In addition, we will examine some traditional
metaphysical theories about the nature of substance.
Is it necessary that our knowledge about the world
requires that the world be some one kind of thing?
What happens to our conception of the universe
if there is no unifying element in our experience?
Can we ever talk directly about the universe,
or must everything we say about it be relativized
to the way in which humans experience?

The course will describe the syntax and semantics of propositional
logic and quantificational logic with identity. In addition
it will concern itself with certain metalogical concepts such
as validity, soundness, consistency, and completeness which are
essential for understanding formal systems. Application of the
formal languages will be made to arguments in English and to
selected philosophical problems. However, the course will not
have as its main focus application of logic to the latter nor to
philosophical
questions
which

Science and Subjectivity
FOCUS OF
THE COURSE:
Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, published in
1962, marked a significant departure from orthodoxy in the philosophy of
• science. Many persons have found his arguments persuasive. But in the more
than eleven years that have now elapsed, defenders of orthodoxy have rallied
and have tried to rebut Kuhn. In Philosophy 341 we shall examine this dispute.
We shall begin with an elaboration of certain aspects (see Calendar Descrip-
tion) of philosophy of science from the orthodox point of view. The principal
text for this purpose will be Hempel's. Then, from this base, we shall turn
to Kuhn's critique, and finally we shall examine Scheffler's defence of the
traditional view.
RATIONALE:
"Very recently . . . the public decided that it wanted to know 'all abc
science. The publishers, docile creatures, have therefore brought out books
by the barrelful, books ranging from the layman's encyclo-'cdia in four volumes
(a solid and good looking dust gatherer for the gentlemen's shelf) to the pape
back on Magnets (sixty-five cents... a real bargain, but what do I do with this
valuable information?). And from other quarters we have had equally numerous
discussions of science in relation to our culture, such as C.P. Snow's on the
intellectual cleavage between scientists and everybody else, and Bertrand
Russell's on the moral issues raised by the kind of work that modern science
sets its hand to: no longer the improvement of man's understanding or man's
comfort but the increasingly confident assurance of his self-destruction.
"Around these curiosities and contentions, usually ill-defined, seldom
consistently pursued, stretches the large and dark domain of public ignorance.
.
We all dwell within it. True, a good many people know something of science:
they take 'an intelligent interest' and read about atoms and ocean cores and
chromosomes and the craters on the moon. Some are practising scientists: they
toil at discovery in their subject, f:' lowing the method and the literature of
their speciality with an exclusive,
?
i-absorbing devotion. Of the rest of
science they have not the time to learn much. They do not even try, being sure
153

 
*
-2-
that the only knowledge worth having is that of the professionals who adds new
knowledge.
"Meantime, the schools enforce upon all above the elementary grades a
'science requirement', which turns out to be largely wasted on three-quarters
of those subjected to it. They leave school and college remembering of science
only tedium and 'difficulty. The sole advantage of the compulsion to study an
elementary science or two is that it starts the young would-be scientist on his
way and perhaps
.
entices a few recruits who did not earlier think of themselves
as fit for this carccr.
"In short, Western society today may be said to harbour science like a
foreign god, powerful and mysterious. Our lives are changed by its handiwork,
but the population of the West is as far from understanding the nature of this
strange power as a remote peasant of the Middle Ages may have been from under-
standing the theology of Thomas Aquinas. What is worse, the gap is visibly
greater now than it was a hundred years ago, when educated men could master
the main conclusions and simple principles that governed physics, chemistry,
and biology. The difficulty today is not that science has uncovered more fact
than one mind can retain, but that science has ceased to be, even to scientist
a set of principles and allobject of contemplation.
"Do we conc-lude, then, that the situation is hopeless? Do we accept th
prospect of the sciences subdividing indefinitely, each speciality becoming th
possession of a few workers, while the public stands outside, gaping at the
jargon and, once in a while, at the practical results?
"Some observers . . . believe that there is a way out of ignorance and
into a better light. They base themselves on the experience of mankind in other
realms of thought and argue that the public (as against the professional) under-
standing of such subjects as art, ethics, international relations, ancient and
modern history, does not depend on being a performer in these fields. One doe
not have to be an architect to judge intelligently of houses and monuments; to
be a politician in order to have sound opinions about world affairs; to be a
religious reformer in order to think about morality; to be a scholarly researcher
in order to grasp the history of one's country. What is required is that one
learns a sufficienty of facts and principles including the principle that
governs the particular enterprise.
"To say this is to say that all the subjects in which the thinking pub ic
takes an interest are in effect treated philosophicallY and historicallY. Th
article that informs you about modern painting tells you who did what, when, qnd
according to what theory or intention. The outlook upon the admired project us
not the technical outlook of the producer but the critical outlook of the ap-
preciator.
"The same possibility exists for Science to be judged and appreciated -
indeed to be enjoyed. And this possibility will have to be realized, with th
. ?
aid of competent interpreters, if science is ever to become a part of the public
COflSCjOUSflCSS
in the same sense as art, history, religion, and philosophy'."

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This seminar is designated in the Calendar
as being a thorough study of a particular philos-
ophical problem. The problem we will tackle this
time is
perception.
In particular, we will discuss
one very ancient theory of perception (that what, oi
only what, we perceive are
aenee data
or
impreeaion
or whatever) and the now classic attack on that
theory at the hands of J.L. Austin. We will not
approach this problem by asking, roughly, did Austir
win orlose? but more by asking
where
did Austin
win, and where lose? And where he won,
what
did
he win,
i.e.
what philosophical point, whether
against the theory or not, did he establish in the
area of perception theory?
If anyone wants to do some background reading
in advance, he or she could read any of the standar
works of Berkeley, or Warnock's book (out in Pengui
on Berkeley, or Ayer's Theory of Knowledge (also
out in Penguin).
